Mesa Campus at a Glance
The Mesa Campus includes 7 classrooms, a sensory gym, a multipurpose room, and a secure fenced outdoor play area designed to support academics, Sensory Integration, recreation, social development, and student activities.
The campus extends the A-FITS small-school model into the East Valley while maintaining the same individualized educational framework used throughout our organization.
